Movies that feel likeDue Date (2010)

Peter Highman must scramble across the US in five days to be present for the birth of his first child. He gets off to a bad start when his wallet and luggage are stolen, and put on the 'no-fly' list. Peter embarks on a terrifying journey when he accepts a ride from an actor.

If you loved Due Date, the closest films we have are War Dogs (2016), Le Week-End (2013) and The Trip (2011). All three share Due Date's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Gloria (2013).
